works as does:
For reference, neither works in Matlab. Suggestion: make the opening '#{' comment marker easier to use as suggested (if it's easy), but make the '%' comments be consistent with Matlab: force the '%}' to be on a line by itself.

Octave already supports multi-line block comments using #{/#} pairs. The current parser expects the keywords to be alone on a single line. It would be nice if this behavior could be extended to be closer to C-stytle /* */ commenting which can appear anywhere in the line. If this is at all tricky to implement then it is not worth it and this issue can be closed.
